昨日宰猪家祭灶,
昨天我在家里宰杀猪,祭拜灶神,
Yesterday I butchered a pig and worshipped the kitchen god at home,
今宵洗豆俗为糜。
今晚洗净豆子煮成糜粥。
Tonight, I wash the beans and cook them into porridge as a common practice.
燔柴夹水明如昼,
燃烧的柴火在水中夹杂,明亮如同白昼,
Burning firewood mixed with water, the brightness is as clear as daylight,
截竹当阶爆御魑。
我斩断竹子堆在门前,爆炸声唤醒妖魑。
I cut the bamboo and place it in front of the door, the explosive sound frightens away evil spirits.
故国赛还新岁愿,
思念故国,比赛迎接新年的心愿,
Thinking of my homeland, comparing to celebrate the New Year's wishes,
老翁回忆幼年时。
老人回忆起自己的童年时光。
The old man recalls his childhood memories.
才高命薄天相戏,
我虽有才华,但命运却不幸,天命戏弄,
Though talented, my fate is unfortunate, as if toyed with by the heavens,
我亦刚肠不肯悲。
但我依然坚强,不愿悲伤。
Yet, I remain resolute and refuse to be sorrowful.
